JOB Launches (at last!)

The first issue of the Journal of OnLine Behavior is now available. Dr. Sonja Utz reports on her research into the micro-processes underlying the formation of relationships during real-time online interaction. Also on the JOB site is a new forum for discussion of this article and others soon to be published in the Journal. My thanks to Dr. Utz for submitting her fine work to JOB, to the JOB Editorial Board and especially to JOB Editor Joe Walther for leading the development of our Journal.

Chat Event:  March 25, 2000

Our next Chat Event on the topic of "Developing Online Communities" will take place this Saturday, March 25, 4:00-5:00 pm Eastern US time (Universal/Greenwich Time). BOL Editor JOHN SULER will lead an outstanding panel consisting of ROBIN HAMMAN, ALAN SONDHEIM, and HOWARD RHEINGOLD. The panel will explore the following topics: Why create an online community? The do's and dont's of developing one. Establishing the ideology and purpose of the community. Structuring the population and communication infrastructure. Dealing with the struggles and recognizing the triumphs. Understanding the life cycle of the community. Full information is at Chat Events.

He's Baaack: "DR. KATZ, Professional Psychotherapist"

Through the courtesy of The Los Angeles Times Syndicate we have resumed publication of the daily comic strip, that delighted so many of you until it's abrupt termination on the first day of the century. The strip is no longer in syndication, but we will continue to run a selection from the Dr. Katz archives each day. I send thanks to BOL member, Louise Lague, for helping to make this possible.

New Art Therapy Forum

I am happy to announce the relaunch of the BOL Forum: "Creative Arts Therapies International." The new forum facilitators are Martin Perdoux and Cathy Malchiodi. Information about their substantial accomplishment and interesting work is available in the BOL Consulting Editors section. In the forum Martin, has posted the first installment of a case vignette featuring a painting by the client. Presentation of the art products of clients will be a regular feature of the new forum. Please visit. You can link to it from the BOL home page.

CAPE COD 2000

At the time the Cape Cod 2000 Catalogue went online applications were pending for CE credit for Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and for Psychologists in Calfornia. All courses have now been accredited for these professionals. (CE Credit for other professions was confirmed prior to publication.) Registration remains open in all 26 Cape Cod 2000 courses. If you are planning to attend, now is a good time to reserve housing, while the supply is still plentiful. For further information about Cape Cod 2000 scroll further down on this page.
